IMPROVEMENT IN BUTTONS.

To ALL WHoM 1T MAY CoNoEnN:

Be it known that I, R. H. GUILFORD, of West Cheshire, in the county of New Haven., and. State of Connecticut, have invented av new Improvement in Buttons; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, ini Figure 1, a button constructed with four holes for attachment.

Figure 2, with two holes; and in Figure 3, an edge view of thesalme.

This invention consists iu forming a button from a continuous attachment. i y

To enable others to construct my improvement I will proceed to describe the same, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings. l

A piece of wire of the length and size proportionate to the purpose ofthe button is bent (as seen in fig. 1) inward, so as to form eyes or holes a, and outward so as to` form the edge b of the button, und the tw'o ends of the wire united in any convenient manner, as by soldering. Any number of holes a may be thus formed, but if for two only, I prefer to bend the wire as denoted in iig. 2. The wire may be bentinto proper form by amachinc adapted for the purpose, and thusl make the button in :t very rapid manner; and the holes having the natural rounded surface ofthe wire, are not in anywise liable to cut the thread. l

The button is therefore very cheap, light, and dura-ble, manner of bending the wire to form the button, Patent, is-

pece of wire, bent so as to form the eyes for and without confining myself to the precise form or what I claim as new and useful, and desire to secure by Letters As a new article of manufacture, a button formed of wire substantially as herein set forth.
